China delegates seek legal means to arrest AIDS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BEIJING, March 11 (Reuters) - China's AIDS crisis has become a hot issue at the annual session of parliament this week, with delegates urging stricter laws to curb the spread of the disease.

China is one of the three countries most at risk from AIDS outside Africa and health agencies say it could have 10 million victims by 2010 if it fails to take the scourge seriously. The other two are Russia and India.

"It is time for China to make laws on the control and prevention of AIDS, otherwise the country will lose the best opportunity to bring the deadly disease under control," National People's Congress delegate Shi Zuolin was quoted on Thursday as saying by the official Xinhua news agency.

He said current regulations were inadequate and some were contradictory, Xinhua said, but did not elaborate.
